    Kaeru Jump Review

    By

    I play a lot of games. All kinds of games. Puzzle games, arcade games, pinball, Wii, music games, hidden object games, time management games, match three games. I don't want you to think I'm bragging. It's just that I play a lot of games with my family. Family times have always been focused around playing games together. And most games I can finish or score very high if I put my mind to it. So, I was quite disheartened when I started playing Kaeru Jump to find that it took me a really long time just to pass the first level.

    Zhu Zhu Pets Review

    By

    If you've got young kids at home, then no doubt you've heard of Zhu Zhu Pets. In fact, it's likely that you fought your way through store after store in December trying to find Mr. Squiggles to wrap as that special gift under the tree. If you don't have kids, then maybe you'll understand when I say that Zhu Zhu Pets was the Tickle Me Elmo product of Christmas 2009. A hot toy in high demand. So, it is only natural to expect that a best-selling toy would find its way to the iPhone. Does a wildly popular toy automatically translate into a great iPhone game? Not necessarily.

    JellyCar 2 Review

    By

    I'm the first to admit that physics-based puzzlers are not my strong suit, but when I saw Jelly Car 2, I was so intrigued that I just had to give it a try. Who wouldn't want to drive a car made of jelly? The whole concept just sounds so appealing and fun. The basic idea: you drive a squishy car through a cartoon world to reach a specific goal. And while the graphics, sounds and gameplay really deliver on the promise of fun, there are some design and controls issues which hold back Jelly Car 2 from reaching its full potential

    Frogger Review

    By

    Pong. Pac-Man. Centipede. Tetris. Galaga. Burger Time. Ah, just thinking about all of those classic video games takes me back to those moments in time when I first discovered that our TV could be used to play a game (Pong). Or that I was actually good at something down at the corner arcade (Pac-Man). Or that I could beat the pants off my brother at a video game (Burger Time). Twenty five years later, it is wonderful now to see these classic games make their way onto my preferred gaming device, the iPhone. Like the other classic games of the 80's, Frogger has always been one of my favorites. But the question is: does it work on the iPhone?

    Tumble Jumble Review

    By

    Many years ago, I remember competing with my brothers for a try at a new game on the monochrome GameBoy device. Everyone who played it just couldn't put it down. We all wanted to get the highest score, and for some reason we never tired of making lines to erase the dropping blocks of varying shapes. Like the rest of the world, we were smitten with Tetris, a new kind of fun that would endure as one of the most unique game mechanics of all video games. Every since then, game developers have been trying to figure out ways to emulate Tetris and create a game genre without violating the copyright. Ideally, a worthy extension of the "stacking blocks of different shapes" category would add lots of variety and challenges. There are many out there who've tried and come up short. I think Tumble Jumble comes close.

    Crayon Ball Review

    By

    The iPhone has seen its share of match'em and make'em disappear puzzle games, so what makes Crayon Ball stand out in the crowd?  Could it be its unique art style?  Could it be its physics-based twist on a decades old genre?  Could it just be that it's just classic puzzling fun?  Whatever it is I picked it up a week ago and I just can't seem to put it down.

    Doodle Jump Review

    By

    You know that feeling the first time you played theYeti game where you whack the penguin with a bat and send it flying across the screen? When I first played theYeti online game years ago, I kept trying to beat my high score (sending the poor penguin further and further) and before I knew it, an hour had gone by. That's what happened to me the first time I played Doodle Jump by Lima Sky. This simple, yet ridiculously addictive little game will suck you in . . . you'll find yourself playing over and over until you have to tear yourself away or risk spending your entire day on a quest to become the Doodle Jump master.

    Rope N’ Fly Review

    By

    "He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease." When George Leybourne penned those lyrics in 1868 to the famous song The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze, he wasn't talking about this little stick dude swinging across a cartoon landscape of skyscrapers, but he could have been! The generic superhero character in the iPhone game Rope 'n' Fly not only has the daring-do of a trapeze artist, but he also has the unique skill of throwing ropes that 'stick' to the walls of tall buildings as he swings by like Spiderman. If that sounds like fun to you, then you ought to give this simple, yet very addicting game a whirl.
